The No-Implant Breast Augmentation: All About Fat Transfer
Submitted by Dr. Joyesh Raj on Thu 01/15/2026 - 00:34
Choosing how to enhance your breasts is a personal decision, and for many women, implants might not be the right fit. But that doesn’t mean you’re out of options. At Raj Plastic Surgery in Westlake, OH, serving the Cleveland area, Dr. Joyesh Raj offers advanced options for patients seeking natural-looking results without implants.
With more than 20 years of experience and board certification in plastic surgery, Dr. Raj brings a thoughtful, customized approach to breast enhancement using fat transfer techniques. A no-implant breast augmentation uses your own body fat to add volume and improve shape. This approach appeals to patients who want subtle enhancement, softer contours, and the added benefit of body sculpting.
How Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Works
Fat transfer breast augmentation begins with liposuction to remove unwanted fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, thighs, or arms.
Dr. Raj purifies the harvested fat and injects it into the breasts in small amounts, layer by layer, while focusing on volume, shape, and symmetry.
Patients often say they love the dual benefits of this procedure: It contours an area you’re not happy with and uses that fat where you’d like more volume without needing to schedule two separate surgery sessions.
Results From Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
Fat transfer typically increases breast size by around one cup. It’s often a popular option for women who want a subtle increase in breast size or wish to refine results after a traditional breast augmentation. However, if you’re looking for a dramatic volume increase, implants might be the better option for you.
Not all transferred fat survives, which is why Dr. Raj’s highly precise technique and expert volume placement are so integral to achieving balanced, beautiful results.
Over time, the fat that successfully establishes a blood supply behaves exactly like fat elsewhere in the body, meaning it can respond to weight changes. Living a healthy lifestyle and maintaining your current weight after surgery are the best ways to maximize the longevity of your results.
Who Is a Good Candidate for No-Implant Breast Augmentation?
Ideal candidates have enough donor fat available for transfer and realistic expectations about outcomes.
During your consultation, Dr. Raj evaluates your anatomy, goals, and overall health to determine whether fat transfer is the right approach for you. He takes the time to really understand what you’re seeking so he can recommend the ideal way to enhance your breasts.
